    I am going to purchase a Brembo front Master cylinder.
    My question to all you guys with the RCS version - do you actually switch between the 18 and 20 setting?
    Which setting is your preference?
    how much difference is there between the two?
    I want to know if its worth paying the extra for the RCS if I wont actualy switch between settings.
    Should i save a bit and just buy a 19 with fixed ratio 20 as I guess the 18 will be less progressing in the feel department?

    Questions questions.................

    I have only used the 20 setting so far but could give the 18 a blast next time I am out for comparison :)

    Bear in Mind you get the folding lever with the RCS but not the fixed ratio, and Capri moto is such a good deal you would not lose much going for the RCS and resale is very good :)

    In fact another member sold his fixed ratio on eBay and got enough to buy the RCS from Italy ;)

    your right J.
    Looked on Carpimoto today and the RCS is £209 at todays exchange rates.
    I think thats my mind made up.

    RCS comes with brake light switch (which the fixed does not) and mine came with a double banjo :) you will need 3 brass washers to seal it if you have hel brake lines (which are supplied)

    You will need the Brembo reservoir kit which is approx £40 -50 from them, unless you want to make your own braket as you hinted towards, I just wanted to fit it and it still works out a lot cheaper from them than anywhere over here, it also incluedes nextday delivery and all taxes so nothing to worry about :) I was very impressed with there service :)

    Any chance you could post a link up to the parts I should be looking at getting as I got a bit confused on that site the other day.
    Do they do the matching hydrolic clutch?

    Too true Jamie!
    I haven't ordered the res, i will make a bracket and use existing.
    I have not yet received my HRC res. Jonny says he sent it a week last Thursday!
    He is being very hard to get hold of at the moment.
    I may order one from someone else as the service I am getting from them is not good.
    Just a "lost in the post issue" i guess, but communication isn't good. I know they are moving at the moment so that may explain why.
